My Girl 2 Page #5

ARTHUR:

And what if it's a boy?

HARRY:

Oh Harry Junior of course.

VADA:

Dad, when a boy likes you, does he pretend

that he doesn't like you? And if he pretends

that he doesn't like you how can you tell that

he likes you?

HARRY:

What boy likes you?

VADA:

It's just a question, it's not about anybody.

ARTHUR:

Uh oh, here comes puberty.

SHELLY:

Vada, I think what you're talking about is

the fear of rejection. You see men will do

anything to avoid looking foolish.

HARRY:

Oh, Shell, that's ridiculous, where are my

needle nosed pliers?

SHELLY:

Listen, if a boy wants to do homework with

you, it really means he didn't have nerve to

ask you out on a date, so you'll get your

homework together and pretend to be studying,

and the next thing you know you're ordering

pizza and talking about your favorite movie

stars.

VADA:

So you're saying...What are you saying??

HARRY:

Honey, ahh, guys don't wanna appear over

anxious, so if you think there's a boy that

might like you, let him know that you like

him, so he won't feel he's taking such a risk

when he's thinking of asking you out.

Okay?

OUTSIDE, VADA IS RIDING HER BIKE DOWN THE PAVEMENT AND

ARRIVES AT JUDY'S HOUSE

Vada presses the doorbell, Judy opens the door

JUDY:

Hi.

VADA:

Hi, wanna help me pick out wallpaper for my

new room tomorrow?

JUDY:

ehh...I don't know I mean....

Kevin appears from inside the house holding a carton of

juice

KEVIN:

Is it okay if I drink this?

VADA:

It's okay with me, hi Kevin.

KEVIN:

Well if it isn't Vada, the grasshopper girl.
